Boston Bruins Rumors & News

WILMINGTON, Mass. -- Boston Bruins forward Gregory Campbell returned to practice Tuesday morning after being kept off the ice for a week with an upper-body injury. Campbell suffered the injury during the team’s 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Feb. 22 and has missed the team’s last three games. Asked whether he would be available for Thursday night’s game against the Calgary Flames, Bruins coach Claude Julien said he isn’t sure, as Campbell has yet to be cleared for contact.

The Arizona Coyotes have claimed forward Craig Cunningham off waivers. The Boston Bruins placed the 24-year-old forward on waivers Saturday to free up a little more cap space. In 32 games this season, Cunningham recorded two goals and one assist for three points.

In the early morning hours Monday, the Boston Bruins acquired forward Brett Connolly from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for the Bruins’ second-round picks in 2015 and 2016. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli had many offers out there Sunday, but things cooled off prior to the Connolly transaction. Adding the 22-year-old forward will help the Bruins in the sense that Chiarelli decided (at least right now) not to rely on a rental player like Buffalo Sabres forward Chris Stewart.

Peter Chiarelli has said all along it was very likely he would make a move before today’s 3 p.m. NHL trading deadline. There is no reason to doubt that he will.What is doubtful is just how much effect an acquisition will have on the Bruins’ somewhat tenuous grasp on a playoff spot.The Bruins general manager has been exploring options for weeks, probably even months. The talked-about deals have included, in the parlance of the NHL, both “rentals” and “hockey trades.”

In the second of Sunday Skate, DJ and Joe discuss the approaching NHL trade deadline and what the B's will do. They get into the Boychuk move at the beginning of the season and Boychuk's brother venting on Twitter this morning about complaining B's fans. There is more discussion on the 3rd and 4th lines, their playoff chances and then they are joined by ESPN's Scott Burnside.

Another edition of Sunday Skate is upon us and DJ and Joe get into the B's big win over Arizona last night and the improvement of Ryan Spooner. They get into the Blackhawks giving up a 1st round pick for C Antoine Vermette - someone the B's could certainly use but weren't willing to give up the steep price of a 1st rounder. DJ and Joe also get into Claude's willingness to switch up lines as well as the performance of the 3rd and 4th lines. Finally, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman sits down with the boys.

Daniel Paille was floating toward oblivion.After playing 57 games and scoring just one goal, Bruins coach Claude Julien decided it was time for Paille to take a seat in the press box. He was up there for two games, and it’s anyone’s guess as to how long he would have remained up there had there not been another injury crisis.

Before any Bruins fans get too excited about the events last evening at the Garden, keep in mind that the B’s were up against a team very much in the running to capture one of the prizes in the Connor McDavid/Jack Eichel sweepstakes.Arizona would be a nice place for Eichel to call home next season, but let’s be real here, the Coyotes are not a strong team.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins' roster could look completely different in the next 48 hours. After the team’s 4-1 victory Saturday night over the Arizona Coyotes at TD Garden, the Bruins won’t play again until Thursday, when the Calgary Flames visit. It’s likely the squad will see some additions and subtractions by then. With the NHL trade deadline looming Monday, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli is diligently working the phones, trying to find the best deal for the organization.
